The Happy hour is a good and it certainly is not promoted a lot. I look for the time posted on the Celebrity Today. The times and days varies and it onl last one hour, which I guess the reason they call it Happy Hour. Do you like the changes in Cellar Master to Craft Social. It certainly seems much busier. I miss the old cellar master with hardly anyone there, but I can understand why they changed it. if you are on board today, look for a guy in a bright yellowish golf shirt, stop and say hello. I would love to meet you in person. Jim

I agree it is pretty issue and it is workable. My DW likes for her photos to transfer from her IPhone to her IPad automatically.

I will check when I get that far. My cruise is January 17th. Thanks

So if we have the Princess plus we get one sign in each. If we then buy the additional four device package, we will have a total of six allowable sign ins at a time? This will only cost $10 a day total (with our discount)? This has to be done prior to boarding? Great deal IMO. Thanks. Seems like a great deal

I agree. Do you concur with Orator’s recent observation that most Zenith’s cruise in suites? On the subject of a new classification, the benefits of the the Elite plus are only significant to those on a cruise only rate. IMO. Although there is some value. Not enough to take a cruise that is not your first choice. Even those at the Zenith level complain frequently that they receive many of the benefits in their standard booking, diluting the real difference between Zenith and other CC levels. I am not saying I agree at the Zenith level, but I am not there. It is good that Celebrity offers Cruise Only rates, but I do not think that is Celebrity’s target market. It has been many years (back to the 1,2,3 days) since I have not had all the perks on my booking. A new level might just create more people to complain.

That is the new revised menu that is currently being used on the Silhouette. They are not serving other drinks, just the ones from the menu. They have been busy every night.

Several years ago, Celebrity modified their process annd increased the delta between NRD and fully refundable. There can be some exceptions, but with my cruises the difference has always been significant. I always book NRD. I believe that a lot of people do not fully understand the difference, thinking incorrectly that they are losing the total deposit. IMO this was done to reduce the “just in case” multiple bookings. OP, you are understanding correctly. I have only moved a cruise once and $100 a person was added to the fare of my new cruise. Perhaps if I would have pushed hard enough, I could have had it waved. I seldom cancel or change cruises.

I always book my own although I use a TA.

Thanks for the info as this stop is on our Emerald Princess cruise scheduled for January 17. Are they changing ports or just making it a sea day?

Orator, I am glad you enjoyed your cruise. I have often wondering if most Zenith’s were booked in suites or at least Aqua Class. At least they were on your cruise. Do you think this is typical? Yes, the four day cruise was a giant party. There was one large wedding group on the cruise as well. I have never seen the Casino and bars so crowded on the last night. (My first four day cruise). They were having a good time and I am fortunate to be on a B2B. Even as a B2B, I doubt whether I will do another 4 day cruise. They had some major issues with immigration and customs at the end of your cruise. They only got to half of the crew though immigration, so they finished the rest yesterday. There were double staffed as no one could get off. I felt sorry for the crew, because Key West would have been a good port for them. Yesterday went much better.

No, I can just review a summary. I did not realize you were looking for all the details prior to booking. Sorry for misleading you.

Jim, thank your. Your video is what allowed me to set the input and get as far as I did. I will spend some time researching and trying what you are suggesting. I need to Google it and gain a better understanding. I think my previous research was not asking the right question. Much appreciated.

I just search cruises, hit itinerary, and then shore excursions. I then select the port and view the excursions. I do the same thing to get flight quotes.

Not offended at all. I want to keep this thread focused on this tropic. I can help you understand at a different time.

Thank you. I understand your point, so that is good. As you say neither of my IOS devices can work as a shared WiFi unless using Cellular data. But isn’t that just a work around for the fact that the Celebrity Silhouette premium internet will not open the browser to log in on the guest Internet? Just for clarification. Can I use an Android (without any Cellular plan) as an Internet device and share the Internet? I appreciate your help in understanding the situation,

I am trying to use my Fire Stick on the Silhouette. Has anyone been successful over the last couple of years? I tried to search for the correct answer here, but I am still confused. I am currently in Miami. I have been able to hook up the Fire Stick and use it from my I Phone Hot Spot, so I know it is working. (Using my Cellular data) Whenever I try to hook up the Fire Stick to the Silhouette High Speed guest internet, the browser does not come up. Therefore I cannot sign into the ship’s internet. It is interesting that if I try to use the Silhouette Staff internet, it goes to the internet screen.(of course I do not have a password) It seems to me that the ship’s guest Internet (suppose to be High Speed Streaming) is purposefully blocking this functionality. Any tips on getting around this block? Either now or on my next cruise? Or am I just an idiot? Feel free to just direct me to the some posts on this particular subject. Do I need a mini router? Can I possible do this with my IPad.? I am certainly willing to buy another piece of hardware. Maybe I can find one in San Juan. I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. It is irritating that mirroring does not work on board with IOS devices. Apparently it works with a Samsung device and maybe regular non IOS devices Thank you. I am going to stop by the Internet Cafe shortly.

Lucky you.

Last night was the last night of our B2B. All bars were slammed, probably due to the fact that it was the end of a 4 days cruise. I will check it our further on this next cruise.

I had the Woodford reserve tonight in the Retreat Lounge.

Anything besides “Woodford Reserve” that concerns you? I am currently on the Silhouette and I can check. I think they have it, but I will confirm. I have not been able to find any Buffalo Trace. (Enjoy it on the Apex TA last October).

Congratulations. Enjoy your cruise. As far as I can recollect, this is the first time anyone has ever been charged the incorrect amount. Did they provide you any indication of how this happened? Warning for others to check their amount thoroughly.

I think someone is confused. Do you have your original document with your bid offer? And did you get a revised invoice. The location of your upgraded cabin is totally within the guidelines of the move up program. i wonder if you possible bid more than you remember, but the e mail will be clear. You should be able to easily get the correct amount adjusted. I have never heard of anyone else being charged more that what they have bid.

I have always found Princess’s policy strange compared to their competitors. They also do not offer a Caffeine Free Diet Coke/Pepsi option.

Why would Craft Social not be included, they certainly serve some of the drinks listed on the CC menu. The WCB does not, so I always thought that it was the reason that it was included.

I have been lucky. I have experienced terrible internet at times, I have always had WiFi.
